‘Good response for Anoma Fonseka Foundation’

1 June 2012 09:04 pm

Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka’s wife Anoma said yesterday that a large number of people had shown interest in joining the Anoma Fonseka Foundation soon after her husband’s release over a week ago.

The Anoma Fonseka Foundation chaired by Mrs. Fonseka began on February 2, 2011. Since then the foundation’s membership had risen and is expected to increase further, Mrs. Fonseka said.“I have received several calls from people saying that they want to join the organisation. We will be calling for new members next month and expect that there will be a big turn out,” she said.

She stressed that the foundation was not involved in any political work but social causes to help the underprivileged. While Mr. Fonseka has supported her work he was not a member of the foundation, she said. (Olindi Jayasundare)
